Paleo Tollhouse Cookies

I was once the queen of Nestlé Tollhouse cookie making. My brothers friends used to beg for me to make them cookies. I was known for making the best homemade chocolate chip cookies around. Fast forward a few years and my attempts at paleo chocolate chip cookies were falling flat. The texture was all wrong. I've now developed the most perfect crisp and chewy Tollhouse cookie! I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!


Paleo Tollhouse Cookies

2/3 cup ghee or grassfed butter (kerrygold is my brand of choice), room temp
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp arrowroot powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup deep dark chocolate chips or pieces

Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In large mixing bowl combine butter/ghee and sugar and cream together (beat until lightens and is slightly fluffy). Add vanilla and egg. Mix until well combined. Add almond flour, coconut flour and arrowroot. Mix until combined. Add baking soda and sea salt. Mix until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips (you can add nuts too if you want). Scoop tablespoon size balls onto parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between dough balls. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on sheets for 2-3 minutes. Then transfer to cooling racks. Serve and enjoy!!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
